Prep the Chicken

Mix the Dressing

In a small bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, and olive oil. Whisk until well-blended and creamy. Adjust sweetness or tanginess to taste.

Assemble the Salad

In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, avocado, and walnuts or pecans. Add the grilled chicken and drizzle with the honey mustard dressing. Toss gently to combine.
